Duolog Technologies , the NovaUCD-headquartered collaborative design automation company, has acquired, in a combined cash and equity deal, the technology and products of Beach Solutions Ltd as part of its global expansion strategy.

Beach Solutions is a privately held, British-based, Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company established in 1998 which offers register management solutions for System-on-Chip (SoC) design. With the aid of over £6m in VC funding, Beach researched and developed innovative products that are used by major semiconductor companies in Europe, US and Asia.

Duolog Technologies develops software tools that enable chip design companies to design their products faster, at lower cost and with fewer bugs. As part of its international expansion plans Duolog opened a sales, marketing and support office in Los Gatos, California last year. With this new acquisition Duolog has established a significant presence in the key Asian market. During the coming year Duolog intends to accelerate sales and to grow its revenues to $15m.
